Hamiltonian cycle complexity for solid hexagonal grids

Determine the computational complexity of the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem for solid hexagonal grid graphs.

Background

The related-work discussion contrasts the known complexity of Hamiltonian cycle problems on several grid families. Although the problem is known to be NP-complete for general hexagonal grids and polynomially solvable for solid triangular grids, the authors identify the corresponding complexity classification for solid hexagonal grids as unresolved.

References

Indeed, the complexity for solid hexagonal grids is still an open problem.
